When November temperatures drop, you might hear a sudden SCREECH from under the hood when starting your engine! Cold air contracts rubber and makes aging belts stiff. If your belt tensioner is slightly worn, the belt slips against the alternator and power steering pulleys for the first 10 seconds until it warms up.
Don't ignore the screech! A snapping belt disables your power steering, alternator, and water pump all at once. Drop by Paul's Automotive - Baltimore for an inspection🛠️⚡
